From: Long Li <longli@microsoft.com>

If a device probe fails, the alarm is canceled and will no longer work for
previously probed devices.

Fix this by introducing a flag to track if alarm has been set. Because it's
possible that an alarm is triggered while probing is in progress that may
modify vdev_netvsc_ctx_list, introduce a lock to protect it.
